DUA (SUPPLICATION)
Dua (supplication) in Islam is one of the most beautiful and profound aspects of worship. It is adirect channel to communicate personally with your Creator, Who is ever Present, and ever readyto Respond.
THE MERIT OF MAKING DU'A
“Then do remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith”.(Qur’aan: 2:152)"Those who believe & whose hearts find satisfaction in remembrance of Allah for without doubt in remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction”. (Qur’aan: 13:28)The Prophet (pbuh) said that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: “I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him”.

BEST TIMES TO MAKE DUA
There are certain times Dua is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT) as mentioned by Prophet(pbuh). Some of these times are as follows:
1. THE LAST THIRD OF THE NIGHT
The Prophet (pbuh) said: "When it is the last third of the night, our Allah (SWT), the Blessed, the Superior, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says, 'Is there anyone who invokes Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?”
(
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 333
)
2. AN HOUR ON FRIDAY
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "On Friday there is a particular time. If a Muslim happens to be praying and invoking Allah for something good during that time, Allah will surely fulfill his request." The Prophet (pbuh) pointed out with his hand. We thought that he wanted to illustrate how short that time was.
(
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 409
)
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Seek the time in which hope is placed on Friday from after the afternoon prayer till sunset." (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1360)
3. THE NIGHT OF 'QADR' (DECREE)
This night in Ramadan is the greatest night of the year. The Almighty Allah (SWT) said about it,"The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months." (Qur’aan 97:3)
4. THE DUA OF A MUSLIM FOR HIS MUSLIM BROTHER OR SISTER
The Prophet (pbuh) said “He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the Angel commissioned (for carrying dua to his Lord) says: Ameen, and it is for you also”.(Muslim, Book 035, Number 6589
)Page 1Page 2
5. DUA DURING THE MONTH OF RAMADAN
The Prophet (SAW) said, “When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of mercy are opened,and gates of Hell are locked and devils are chained”. (Muslim Book 6, No. 2361
)
6. A TRAVELLER’S AND A PARENT’S DUA
The Prophet (SAW) said, three duas are answered, there being no doubt about them; that of a father, that of a traveller and that of one who has been wronged.(Abu Dawud Book 8, Number 1531)
GLORIFICATION OF ALLAH
Quli allahumma malika almulki tutee almulka man tashao watanziAAu almulka mimman tashaowatuAAizzu man tashao watuthillu man tashao biyadika alkhayru innaka AAala kulli shayinqadeerun
Say: "O Allah! Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and you Take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will,and You humiliate whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Verily, You are able to do all things”. (Qur’aan: 3:26)
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was instructed to make this dua. This verse refers to the situation ofthe Israelites. They had the kingdom, and Allah took it away. Israilites, who were a living nation,are turned into a spiritually dead community. Arabs, who were spiritually at the abyss, are nowbustling with life with the message of Islam brought by the Prophet (pbuh). Allah (SWT) madethem spiritually dead, politically and financially bankrupt, just because these people went awayfrom Truth.
“O Allah, none can bring goodness except You and none can remove evil except You; and there is no power and strength except with Your help”.
(
Abu Dawud, Book 29, No. 3909)
Huwa Allahu allathee la ilaha illa huwa almaliku alquddoosu alssalamu almuminu almuhayminualAAazeezu aljabbaru almutakabbiru subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona
“Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might,the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah. (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him”. (Qur’aan: 59:23)
TRUST IN ALLAH
Innee tawakkaltu AAala Allahi rabbee warabbikum ma min dabbatin illa huwa akhithunbinasiyatiha inna rabbee AAala siratin mustaqeemin
"I put my trust in Allah, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He has grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path”.(Qur’aan: 11:56)
Qul huwa alrrahmanu amanna bihi waAAalayhi tawakkalna fasataAAlamoona man huwa feedalalin mubeenin
Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious, We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust. So, soon will you know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error." (Qur’aan:67:29)
Faqaloo AAala Allahi tawakkalna rabbana la tajAAalna fitnatan lilqawmi alththalimeenaWanajjina birahmatika mina alqawmi alkafireena
They said: "In Allah do we put our trust. Our Lord! Make us not a trial for those who practise oppression.And save us by Your Mercy from those who disbelieve." (Qur’aan: 10:85-86)
Bismillaahi, tawakkaltu ‘alallaahi, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata ilaa billaah.
"In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah; there is no might and no power but in Allah.
"
(Abu Dawud, Book 41, Number 5076)
The Prophet (SAW) said, “say Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise."
(
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 393
)

Alhamdu lillahi allathee hadana lihatha wama kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadana Allah
"Praise be to Allah, who has guided us to this (felicity), never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah." (Qur’aan: 7:43)
